sonar.language is deprecated. don’t use it, and sonar-scanner will consume all sources that match patterns in sonar.inclusions and sonar.exclusions.

HI @GokilaBalakrishnan,

Welcome to SonarSource community! 👋

What @nixel2007 said is correct, don’t use `sonar.language`, use the latest sonar-scanner (see [here](https://docs.sonarqube.org/latest/analysis/scan/sonarscanner/) for more information and the download for it) and it will handle appointing file suffix with language.

Joe
